Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The iron works and so far since its arrival i have done 100% of my soldering with it. The container feels pretty cheap, but again, it does its job. Needed to upgrade my $4 iron from a local tool store.

Great for beginners like myself. Can't beat it for the price. Stand is also a bit flimsy but does its job too. Works great on an ear lobe.



Cons

After burning myself twice, the heating element in the iron is dead. The temperature control is useless and it will barely melt solder on the highest setting.

Save yourself $5 in return shipping. I'm scared to just get a replacement because i'm worried it will be the same low quality device. Could not recommend.

Did some very small soldering on an arduino project. Accessories are exceptional -- but aren't much use if i can't use the iron. The only thing this is good for is soldering capacitors and resistors.

Quality


The unit works fine gets plenty hot and is quick to get to temperature


Overall very happy with the variable temperature control and functionality


Seemed good for the first 2 uses third time i plugged it in it never heated up


Low quality yes but i knew beforehand so there was no surprise there

Price


If you need a soldering set this is a great bargain


For the price this is a great starter for beginners to learn how to solder


Now this isnt a hako but you didnt pay hako price either


Over all though still a 5 star for the money

Shipping


Fast shipping and i totally recommend it 💯


The day it arrived i fixed some wires on a rc car motor


Contacted the seller and they sent me a new one product was still under warranty

Packaging/appearance


The plastic case was smashed up when i received it which is disappointing


Didnt take a pic of the case its just a black plastic storage box with eggshell style foam inside


I like the container it came in i can put the soldering stuff in there and i dont have to go looking for it here and there


All items were included however the storage container came without one of the clips to close it

Competitiveness


I used this product to work to replace potentiometers on the xbox one and gamecube controllers

    Soldering kit is great for beginners with a good iron and tips however the kit did not come with soldering wire included and had to be ordered separately after the kit had already arrived


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not much variation for temperature control but if youre just learning how to solder this sets not a bad investment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Some of the tips heat more evenly than others


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Soldering but the soldering coil is a small amount the diameter of the solder wire is right


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Looks like a good deal for the price but i havent used it yet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ok you need to be very careful when you use it it gets extremely hot fast and very easy to use just be careful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Of course there are better quality soldering irons out there


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So even if the iron doesnt last for years and years i think this is a good buy for a person who occasionally solders
